This Week in Science

This week we are wrapping up our unit on matter with solubility and density.  Yesterday and today we read about solubility as a class and took notes as we read.

Since we are approaching the end of the unit, there will be a vocabulary quiz on either this Friday or Monday next week. I will know more once I know how much we get through tomorrow.  Students have been given a small glossary sheet and we marked the words that will be on the quiz.

They are: atom, boiling point, chemical change, chemical property, density, element, freezing point, gas, liquid, mass, matter, melting point, physical change, physical property, plasma, solid, solubility, solute, solvent, volume.

Science Homework.

The past week  we have been studying the periodic table. We have discussed metals, non metals, and metalloids. We have also been working on a study packet. Pages 35, 36, and 37 should be completed with the time we had in class. Students must finish any work they did not complete in class at home this weekend.

here is a link to an interactive periodic table.  It gives some neat facts and uses for each element.  http://www.ptable.com/
